BUILDING COMMUNITY AND HEALTHIER EATING HABITS
BUILDING COMMUNITY AND HEALTHIER EATING HABITS
THE CHALLENGE
To increase the demand for healthier dietary choices. Good Food is Good Medicine was created with the understanding that healthy eating plays a significant role in long-term health. That’s especially true in the underserved and underrepresented communities in Chicago that we serve.
